Takes the Sting Right Out of Being on Campus

Tuesdays involve a new tradition this semester. Scott and I used to have lunch together a couple times a week on campus, but for the past 3 semesters my teaching schedule has eaten up any possibility of eating up any lunch together. This time I don't teach on Tuesdays so I get a quick bite with Scott at noon and then go hold my office hours.

Today we ate in a weird little Thai place on campus and were in a room all by ourselves to try to unwind (him mostly, since I had just gotten to work), and hang out where there was no noise. I hate noise. And crowds. Campus has a lot of both.

And then later when I took a break from grading to walk to the library to return my DVDs, Scott was on his afternoon break and we walked there together. That's really all it takes.
